A business negotiation upon which your future depends is usually a tense situation. If you’re pitching, you should already have invested a lot of time and energy into your product or service, and because quality investors are notoriously hard to find, each pitch should be considered “make or break.” On top of that pressure is the amount of information you’ll be trying to convey in a short period of time. This kind of mental juggling can rattle the best of us. So remember to breathe. It will help you speak slower and more clearly. It will give you valuable milliseconds to re-organize and present your thoughts intelligently, and it will make you appear confident. Remember to breathe.
